vezpa Posted November 16, 2012 at 09:47 PM Share Posted November 16, 2012 at 09:47 PM I have seen a few classes posted to receive your NRA pistol instructor certification over the last year or so but nothing recently. I believe it was a full 2 day class. Anyone doing these in Illinois or Indiana or southern Wisconsin? Any info would be most appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ming Posted November 16, 2012 at 10:05 PM Share Posted November 16, 2012 at 10:05 PM Tom Yackley in Oswego is a great instructor, but you can get a listing of NRA courses here: http://www.nrainstru...archcourse.aspx Tom's info is: Tom Yackley, NRA Master Training Counselor, 435 Rance Road, Oswego, IL 60543, 630-392-3966, snowelf@att.net. If you have any trouble contacting Tom, his right hand man/partner is Dave Phistry, davephistry@yahoo.com, 630-217-3003. I did my BIT and Instructor Pistol Shooting Course with Tom and his team. They do a great job. It is a 2 day course since you must do BIT (Basic Instructor Training) and then the discipline specific portion. It was actually a lot of fun. There are several exams you need to pass as well as a range qualification. You do not have to redo BIT if you wish to add other disciplines, e.g., Instructor Rifle Shooting Course.

C0untZer0 Posted November 16, 2012 at 11:04 PM Share Posted November 16, 2012 at 11:04 PM Ditto on Tom Yackley - he's a great instructor. I did my BIT with Tom and Rocco - Basic Pistol. Dave had a family function that weekend if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave had a family function that weekend if I recall. I know Rocco also. I got to assist in the Basic Pistol course with him on several occasions. I'd train with any of these guys. They're a good bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junglebob Posted November 21, 2012 at 12:54 AM Share Posted November 21, 2012 at 12:54 AM Does anyone come down to the southern part of the state for the instructor classes? Carbondale area Heartland training team from Marion had an instructor class earlier this month. You may want to check their training calender next year they may have it again. The training calender is on their website www.heartlandtrainingteam.sharepoint.com I've taken some of their other classes and liked them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I checked wih Debs when I went to use the range this week. $800 for the course is what they charge and that is astronomical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
